On-Ground & Semi-Inground Pools
The best of both worlds — the stunning look of an inground pool with the freedom to fit your yard and your plans.
|
Here's a little secret: some of the most beautiful backyards we've ever built started with an on-ground or semi-inground pool. These pools give you the gorgeous, finished look of an inground pool with wonderful flexibility — they can go fully in the ground, partway in, or sit proudly above grade, and they truly shine on sloped or challenging yards where they turn a “tricky” space into the star of the show. Surround one with decking, retaining walls, and landscaping, and your guests will never guess it wasn't poured in place. We build Rockwood semi-inground pools, which offer one of the widest ranges of options out there.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)What is the difference between an on-ground and a semi-inground pool?
An on-ground pool sits at or near grade level, while a semi-inground pool is set partially into the ground. Both are sturdier than typical above-ground pools and can be finished with decking and landscaping to look just like a traditional inground pool. Are semi-inground pools good for sloped yards?
They're one of the very best choices for sloped or uneven yards. Because they can be set partway into the grade and built up on the low side, they turn a difficult lot into a beautiful one — often without the cost of major excavation. How much does a semi-inground pool cost?
Semi-inground pools in the Chicago area often range from about $25,000 to $50,000 installed, depending on size, how deeply they're set, decking, and features. We're happy to give you a free estimate built around your yard.
